Thirty miles east of Xingyang, Pushan Gong camp. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Midaihaisi successfully ambushed Zhang Xutuo, almost annihilating Zhang Xutuo's elite army, and became famous in the first battle, which is known to the world.

The rebels, officials, and gate lords all over the country have praised Li Mi's prestige, not to mention the Wagang Army.

All the Wagang troops were impressed by Li Mi, almost all of them were ordinary people from the fields, with little knowledge and short vision, and they learned that Li Mi was a descendant of the Duke of Pushan, and they were so good at scheming and clever that they suddenly received unprecedented support in the army.

At this time, Li Xuanying, a friend of Li Mi, took the opportunity to spread the proverb of "Tao Li Zhang" in the army, and began to give an intriguing explanation.

"Peach and plum, win the world; The queen went around Yangzhou and turned into a garden. Don't talk to it, who will say it? After Li Xuanying researched, the secret was spread and three things were prophesied.

The first sentence, Tao and Fu, refers to the fugitive person surnamed Li, who will win the world.

The second sentence means that the emperor and the empress are lost in Yangzhou and are not allowed to return to the capital.

The third sentence "Don't talk in waves, who promises" means to keep "secret", which means Li Mi.

Li Xuanying finally came to the conclusion that the current emperor and empress will die in Yangzhou if they can't come back; Pushan Gong Li Mi will win the world.

When the news spread, the soldiers in the barracks were convinced, and they felt more and more that Li Mi was the peach and plum in this mysterious proverb, and he could win the world.

"Li Mi may be the true dragon son who succeeded Yang Guang, the Great Sui is about to die, and the Mi Gong should be prosperous!"

"We want to support Mi Gong, and we will all be the founding heroes in the future!"

Due to Li Xuanying's encouragement and the spread of Li Mi's cronies behind the scenes, this rumor spread quickly in the camp, and even sent people to the surrounding counties to spread, which made Li Mi's prestige and reputation suddenly push to the forefront and raise his attention.

Wang Bodang, Xu Shiji, Wang Junkuo, Jia Xiong and others all took him as the main and decided to continue to advance and attack Xingyang.

Soon, many rebels and grass robbers near Xingyang came to vote one after another, just for Li Mi's reputation, and even Xu Yuanlang took 20,000 soldiers and horses to take the initiative to attach themselves to Li Mi's orders.

His own soldiers and horses, from the remaining forty or fifty thousand men, suddenly increased suddenly, and the army was reduced to join, and the nearby rebels, and the recruited new army, mixed together, broke through 100,000 people, and the number was still increasing every day, twice as many as the old army on Wagang Mountain.

At this moment, Li Mi, holding the power of the army, surpassed Zhai Rang, and his mind naturally changed, and he felt that he was full-fledged, as long as he took Xingyang again, conquered Luocang, and occupied Luoyang, the rivers and mountains in the hinterland of the Central Plains would be at his fingertips.

Li Mi took a few people around him, went to a camp tent, visited Luo Shixin and Cheng Zhijie's injuries, these days, through lobbying from top to bottom, knowing with reason, moving with affection, and even Li Mi personally came to woo, and finally made the two tigers under Zhang Xutuo's account attached.

The reason is not difficult to understand, first of all, the Great Sui has been destroyed, as a Sui general, he has long been confused, and he has no loyalty and patriotism in the heyday, Luo Shixin and Cheng Zhijie and others are grateful to Zhang Xutuo, and by the way, they protect their homeland and their fathers and villagers, but with the departure of the battlefield from their hometowns, they have long had war-weariness in their hearts.

The second is that he is now captured, there are only two ends, one is to return to Shun, but to be beheaded, the two are young, and the person who knows the times is Junjie, and he is definitely not willing to be buried for the faint court, so he agreed to return to the Wagang Army in a few days.

Li Mi was overjoyed when he heard this, and personally bandaged the two of them, and co-opted the two generals for his own use.

"General Luo, General Cheng, do you feel that your injuries are better?"

Luo Shixin and Cheng Zhijie saw Li Mi visiting in person with some Wenmou military generals, and immediately struggled to get up, clasped their fists and saluted: "I have seen Mi Gong, as well as generals and gentlemen!" ”

Li Mi stepped forward enthusiastically and said with a smile: "The two generals are injured, don't be polite, sit down quickly, we are here, one is to visit the injuries of the two of you, and in addition, there is the next step, we have to discuss with the two generals." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Luo Shi was so confident that he couldn't help but ask.

A guard moved the chair, and after Li Mi sat down, he asked Fang Yanzao to spread out a map and said: "My Wagang army is in the troubled times, and I want to do it for the sky, not just talk, the next step is to attack Xingyang, at present, Yang Qing has sent Liu Changgong to lead the troops to block our army, this is not a big problem, but the Wagang army is currently expanding a lot, and the grain and grass are consumed too quickly, so before attacking Xingyang, I want to take Xingluocang first!" ”

"Xingluocang!" Luo Shixin and Cheng Zhijie were shocked when they heard this, as generals of the Sui Army, they naturally knew the importance of this granary.

This Xingluocang is on the loess ridge in the east of Qilipu Village, Heluo Town, which is located in the hills, the situation is dangerous, the soil layer is hard and dry, and there is the convenience of waterway transportation, the Yellow River in the north, the Luoshui in the west, from the Luohe River to Luoyang, up to Tongguan in Shaanxi and Chang'an in Xijing at that time, down the river to Shandong to Haikou, and at the same time to communicate with the Grand Canal, to be connected with the granary production area in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the second year of the Sui Dynasty, Luokou Warehouse was built in Heluo Town, southeast of Gongxian County, and the grain transported from the south of the Yangtze River through the Grand Canal was hoarded here. Build the warehouse city, more than 20 miles around, a total of 3,000 cellars, each cellar stores 8,000 stones, set up more than 10,000 officers and soldiers to defend the granary. According to this record, Luokou Warehouse can hold about 24 million stone of grain, which was the largest granary in the country at that time.

Although the grain and grass have not been filled, the grain requisition has decreased in recent years, and wars have been frequent, but even so, I am afraid that there are still 10 million stones in it, enough for 200,000 troops for several years.

"The two generals have ever understood that the garrison defense is convenient for us to attack smoothly and get it quickly, which can not only meet the needs of our army's reserve grain and grass, but also provide relief to the people of the surrounding counties and help them survive this year's famine." Li Mi said sincerely.

Cheng Zhijie and Luo Shixin glanced at each other, and they already understood in their hearts that on the surface, it seemed that they were reused and came to listen to their opinions, but it was not a kind of vote, and there was a little temptation, if the two of them were not sincerely attached, I am afraid they would not do their best to tell the military deployment of Cangcheng.

Luo Shixin said: "This is easy to do, as long as you order me 3,000 men and horses, I can sneak attack the bloody battle and take this city." ”

Li Mi shook his head and said: "General Luo's injuries are too serious, it is not suitable to do it for the time being, but to recuperate from his injuries, there will be many opportunities in the future, waiting for General Luo to show his might." ”

Cheng Zhijie got up and said: "My injuries are basically better, so let me lead the troops and attack the city." ”

Li Mi pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "In this way, you will lead the team, Xu Shiji and Wang Junkuo will accompany and assist, go to attack Cangcheng, and allocate 8,000 elite soldiers to you, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, sneak attack and take Xingluocang, so that when our army fights Liu Changgong, the confidence is enough, and the capture of Xingyang is just around the corner." ”
